The History Channel has released a teaser for the second season of their new hit series, "Knightfall". This season, we will see Mark Hamill (Star Wars) joining the cast as Talus and see his relationship with Landry, played by Tom Cullen.
Talus is a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran of the Crusades, who survived captivity for ten years in the Holy Land and is tasked with training the new initiates to the Order. In the teaser trailer, we hear about Talus' moral conflict with Landry as a Templar. Landy is courageous and headstrong and last season, we left seeing him grief-stricken but hopeful.
The series is a grittier, more realistic take on the Medieval period and goes inside the politics and warfare of the Knights Templar, the most powerful, wealthy, and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages. The show delves deep into the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks. We get to learn who these knights were, how they lived, and what they died believing.
